emm109.1 (emm-cluster E4) subtype determining sequence. Identity to bases 
31-180 (encodes mature N-terminus) and ungapped identity or near-identity
to complete 180 base sequence defines this subtype.

emm109.1 obtained from year 2004 external quality assurance GAS strain 17.
CDC designation = 313-04(T6,sof109), obtained from Dr. Androulla Efstratiou,
Respiratory and Systemic Infection Laboratory, London. Identical in 150 base
subtype-defining region to accession AJ549818 (however this one differs by
single base del within putative signal sequence-encoding region).
